Our place, Parmar Products, is located in Pydhonie, right at Dahanukar Colony 101. If you’ve ever been to Pydhonie, you know it’s one of the most crowded spots you can find. There are carts and people everywhere, and the noise is constant from morning until night. We work out of a small space where we package up various goods for sale. It’s a lot of manual work, sitting on stools and making sure everything is weighed and bagged correctly. We don't have any automated machines, so it’s all done by hand. The humidity in Mumbai can be a real pain for the packaging, so we have to be careful about how we store things in the back. We aren't looking to become a giant brand or anything like that. We just want to keep the shop going and provide for our families. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to work by the light from the doorway, which isn't ideal but we make it work. We have a few regulars who stop by just to chat or grab what they need for their own small shops. We don't do any social media or stuff like that. We just rely on the fact that we’ve been here for years and people know we are reliable enough. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, even if the building is a bit leaky when the monsoon hits.
